When you’re a mom to young kids, days can be pretty full on. Whether you work in an office, stay at home with the kids or work for yourself and try to juggle time between work and kids, it all adds up to the same thing. A lot of the time you’re giving to others rather than to yourself.
So, that’s what you signed up for, you might think. No-one said raising a family was going to be a walk in the park! True enough, and the hard work is rewarding too. You probably wouldn’t want to have things any other way, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make time for you in your busy schedule. A little me time isn’t about being selfish; it’s about giving you the chance to let your batteries recharge, to allow you to relax and take a breather for five minutes, so that you can carry on being superwoman for the rest of the day!
And if you don’t take some time out, you’ll probably end up being a grouch instead of being an understanding mum. Your kids will benefit from you having some time out too!
It’s always good if you can take that time out in short bursts at home – so you don’t have to think about finding childcare or stuff like that. Online games can be great for that, and those that don’t require too much effort seem to be ideal. If you can be entertained while playing a simple game, then you can relax for five minutes. It’s no good playing something that requires a lot of strategy and thinking – that might add to your stress levels rather than reduce them!
I’ve found the perfect game for this in online bingo. There are so many different sites that have this game and there’s only a minimal cost to go into a game. Also, many sites have free games, or when you join a site, you get a welcome bonus to add to the cash you put in. When you play bgo bingo games and put down your first cash deposit, you get a 200% welcome bonus, meaning you triple your money before you’ve even played a game!
As bingo costs so little to play, however small an amount you open an account with, it will go a long way. Of course, you harbour a small hope that you might win one of the jackpot games while you’re playing, but for me, the fun is in the game itself. And as you don’t have to concentrate on marking off the numbers as they’re called out – the software does this for you – you’re free to chat to other players online in the bingo chat rooms. Other players I meet there often seem to be on my wavelength – looking for a little time out while playing an entertaining game, so they can be good company. I guess it’s that little bit of adult conversation that adds to the ‘break’ element too!
I like the dip in and out element of bingo best – it’s always there whenever I want to take five!
